The food was phenomenal. Do the dinner for 2 and you’ll be set. I got the Lamb shank fensenjan for my entree and loved it. Very cute establishment and service was great

A small, intimate dining area that is perfect for a chill date night or hangout. The sampler was lovely, my favorite being the eggplant and the hummus. I had the vegetarian sabzi which was ok, i was looking for a bit more flavor, but it was still tasty. The lentil soup was super flavorful though and the skewers were delicious according to others in my party.
We were all underwhelmed with the food and service here. Portions were small compared to other Persian restaurants that we have been to. Service was very slow and not too attentive.

Solid food, service, and atmosphere. The beef kebab was good, the lamb kebab was great, and the lamb in pomegranate sauce was even better. Wouldn’t recommend the appetizer sampler - none of the appetizers were standouts so a plate full of them was a bit of a waste.

Great vibe and friendly service. The Persian-style pizza was next level (not on the menu, so you’ve got to call ahead and ask for it the day of. Totally worth it!)

We tried the Persian style pizza (chicken and mushroom) and it was great.
A quaint little restaurant near the Lincoln Park Zoo. The appetizer sampling was so good that I forgot to take a picture before we dug in. The lemonade was perfection in a glass and tasted like they used brown sugar to sweeten. I got the leg of lamb that was so tender that the meat fell off the bone. The gravy that accompanied the meal was rich and flavorful.
My daughters provided this meal for Mothers Day. Thanks babies for a wonderful evening 😘 💕

This is a cozy, intimate restaurant that radiates warmth and charm. The atmosphere is inviting and makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The food is solid — while it may not be groundbreaking, the dishes are well-prepared, satisfying, and reflect care in their preparation. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the exceptional service. Both the owner and the staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive to every guest’s needs. They create a genuine, personal experience that makes you want to return again and again. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual meal or looking for a relaxed spot to spend an evening, this restaurant delivers a memorable experience thanks to its warm vibe, decent food, and outstanding hospitality.

The Dinner for Two options are wonderful for a date. Our server was courteous and even gave me a rose to offer my girlfriend, so fun! The shrimp and chicken were immaculate—the kind of cooking that makes you think, “why haven’t I been coming here for years?”
Had an amazing dinner. Food was great, staff couldn’t have been nicer, and they capped everything off with a rose at the end. Such a cozy, affordable restaurant with the best Persian food in the city.

The food at Pars Cove was absolutely delicious! From the rich, creamy baba ganoush to the perfectly buttered saffron rice, tender kabob, and flavorful joojeh kabob—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.
Aside from the buttered saffron rice, the romantic ambiance—reminiscent of Persian poetry—and the perfect selection of nostalgic Iranian music made the experience even more special.
If you’re in the Lincoln Park or Lakeview area and love Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, don’t miss out on this unforgettable spot!
